In Business Administration:Francois SteynThesis Title: Executive wisdom: a study of phronesis in modern management practice
Francois Steyn holds a BCom, BProc and LLB from the University of Johannesburg, and an MBA from UCT’s Graduate School of Business (GSB). In 2016, he commenced his PhD studies at the GSB whilst employed in the commercial banking sector. Francois Steyn’s thesis examines the management scholarship’s approach to developing executive managers and considers the consequences of the pedagogical neglect of phronesis, the Aristotelian archetype of practical wisdom, and the continued emphasis on theoretical knowledge and specialised skills. He investigates the problem, which he attributes to the ambiguity of the phronesis-concept and the absence of a framework that could support the development of managerial phronesis. He develops a definition and typology of managerial phronesis from an analysis of the contemporary literature on phronesis in the management scholarship and education domains. The theory is then tested through a two-phased qualitative analysis of the practices of social scientists engaged in Phronetic Social Science and executive managers
studying in a phronetic Executive MBA programme. The analysis validates the typology of managerial phronesis and extends the theory to practice, offering a framework for the development of the practical wisdom of executive managers.

In Economics:Tina KoziolThesis Title: Heterogeneous agent models to determine spillover effects in the context of Quantitative Easing
Tina Koziol holds master’s degree equivalent in Business Administration (Diplom-Kauffrau) from the University of Jena in Germany. In 2016, she joined UCT to pursue her PhD in the School of Economics. Tina Koziol’s thesis develops heterogeneous agent models to determine spillover effects in the context of Quantitative Easing (QE). Her first model calibrates a price shock amplification model to the South African banking sector. She ranks individual banks according to their contribution to systemic risk and finds a critical threshold parameter, which, if exceeded, makes the banking system highly unstable. Tina Koziol’s second model studies spillover between financial markets following Euro area QE. She compiles data on asset holdings of more than 40 000 global investment funds and finds a negative impact of central bank asset purchases on both domestic and foreign returns. While the effects of QE on domestic bond yields and the exchange rate are rather modest and smaller than commonly assumed in the literature, domestic stock prices increase substantially. Spill-overs from portfolio balancing to the rest of the world are negligible.

In Finance:Akios MajoniThesis Title: Mitigating secondary agency problems: examining the impact of share option compensation for non-executive directors on CEO pay incentives and earnings management
Akios Majoni holds an MCom in Financial Management from UCT. He started working on his PhD in 2015 while working as a full-time academic at UCT. Akios Majoni’s thesis examines an important change in corporate remuneration in South Africa in 2010. He looks at the elimination of awarding share options to non-directors (NEDs). This change provides a natural experiment to test the effect on monitoring of the CEO and how it is modified by institutions and blockholders. Using a unique sample of data from 110 companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, he shows that shareholders can avoid the cost of issuing more shares while the effect on monitoring is not reduced and is increased in some cases. Institutional and blockholder ownership has no impact on monitoring after the change and thus does not provide a substitute for paying share options to motivate NEDs to monitor. Akios Majoni’s results support the King Commission III’s recommendation to end the remuneration of NED with share options.

Nchimunya NdiiliThesis Title: The effects of foreign reserves strategy on foreign reserves performance during the 2008 financial crisis: a focus on sub-Saharan Africa middle-income central banks
Nchimunya Ndiili holds an Economics degree from the University of Zambia and an MBA from Maastricht School, Netherlands. She joined the Faculty of Commerce at UCT in 2017 for her PhD studies. She has worked for the central bank in Zambia on financial markets. Nchimunya Ndiili’s thesis investigates strategies that central banks in sub-Saharan middle-income countries
adopted during the 2008 financial crisis, and how effective they were in mitigating losses in foreign reserves. She utilises monthly foreign reserve data for six sub-Saharan African countries: South Africa, Zambia, Nigeria, Ghana, Namibia and Swaziland. She first investigates investment strategies that central banks adopted during the 2008 financial crisis and identifies Risk Taker and Risk Averse Strategies. She then determines the BL optimal expected returns for each country and analyses the deviation of the six country’s BL expected returns from the optimal expected returns for countries under Risk Taker and Risk Averse Strategies. Low deviations are established in Risk Averse Strategy countries. She extends her research by establishing the effects of strategies on foreign reserve performance and finds that returns decline as market volatility increases in both strategies, with Risk Taker Strategy exhibiting a greater decline.

In Information Systems: Shallen Lusinga
Thesis Title: Towards a digital tool for monitoring and reporting mobile victimisation among South African high school students
Shallen Lusinga holds a BSc in Environmental and Geographical Science, a BScHons in Geographical Information Systems, and an MCom in Information Systems from UCT. Shallen Lusinga’s thesis focuses on the development of a mobile-based artefact that may be used by high school students to report their mobile victimisation. She developed an integrative theoretical framework informed by Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model as an overarching framework within which the complex factors and interactions that influence victimisation behaviour can be examined and addressed. The integrative framework was then used to inform the development of a mobile application using design science research as a strategy. The findings confirm that the reporting behaviours of students are
influenced by economic, psychological, socio-cultural and technological factors. The research produces an artefact that detects and documents the factors of the integrative framework for each student. This information informs those who intervene who can then provide more specific and tailored interventions.
Supervisor: Professor M Kyobe (Information Systems)
Esther NamirembeThesis Title: E-learning in universities in Uganda: predictors of successful adoption
Esther Namirembe holds a BLIS (Information Science) and MSc. (Computer Science) from Makerere University. Before joining the UCT Department of Information Systems for her PhD in 2015, Esther worked as an assistant lecturer in the Department of Information Technology, College of Computing and Informatics Technology, Makerere University. Esther Namirembe’s thesis focuses on the development of a predictive framework for advancing e-learning programmes in universities in Uganda. She develops a comprehensive conceptual framework which is the basis for identifying the predictors of successful adoption of e-learning in the universities. She also investigates the causes of failure of e-learning information systems in universities in Uganda. During the analysis the gestalt perspective was adopted to understand the complex interaction between organisational and individual predictors. She finds out that organisational and individual factors contribute to the adoption of e-learning but at later ages of students and lecturers. The main causes of non-adoption of e-learning information systems in universities in Uganda are a limited structured approach and inadequate empowerment. She argues that universities and policy-makers need to ensure that e-learning is adopted as early as possible if these institutions are to remain competitive.
